I try hard to put partisan differences aside and vote for candidates that I feel will vote for solid principles and resist partisanship. As a result, my ballot is often a mix of Democrats, Republicans, and third parties.
However, I feel like I'm in the minority. Apparently ~30% of people on each side stick with their party, and even more tend to prefer a specific party. I feel like a lot of people don't even really understand the key issues and vote more based on habit/loyalty than anything else.
Aside from referring people to political quizzes like isidewith, I'm really not sure what I can do. I personally thought it was interesting that my results put candidates from 3 different parties in the top 5 matches, and none of them were either of the two major candidates in 2016.
